16 Spots Perfect For Girls’ Night Out - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Madera Kitchen is a rare Hollywood spot where you can eat good food and hear yourself talk. This Mediterranean restaurant has one of the more attractive patios in LA, complete with lots of greenery and hanging lights that will make it look like you found an exclusive resort rather than a semi-casual restaurant off Franklin Ave. The space is huge, so it’s always easy to get a table for big groups, the shared plates are all simple but consistently good, and the crowd never gets so loud that you can’t have a real conversation. And if you’re done talking after dinner, there are a ton of rowdier bars to hit just a few minutes away." - jess basser sanders, amy clark, brant cox
